Former Luzerne County Commissioner Greg Skrepenak's sentencing on a corruption charge has been postponed for a second time.

Originally scheduled for May 12 and then postponed until June 8, the former NFL offensive lineman's sentencing hearing is now set for June 29 before U.S. District Judge Richard P. Conaboy in Scranton.

Conaboy approved both postponements after federal probation officials informed him they could not meet deadlines for completing a pre-sentence report in the case, according to court documents.

The 40-year-old Democrat faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to accepting $5,000 from a developer who received a county-backed loan, but is more likely to receive 33 to 41 months under federal sentencing guidelines and his plea agreement.

Skrepenak resigned from office in December one day before federal prosecutors announced he had reached a plea agreement. He is one of more than two dozen government offcials and contractors charged in a federal corruption probe over the last 15 months.
